Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon butter
5 skinless chicken thighs
2 tablespoons chicken base (I like the chicken base that moist and paste like)
3 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth
1 onion, finely chopped
1 bunch celery, chopped
4 carrots, peeled and chopped
1 pinch garlic salt
1 pinch pepper

Steps:

  • Season both sides of the chicken thighs with the garlic salt and pepper.
  • In a 5 qt sauce pan, heat butter and be careful not to burn it.
  • Brown both sides of thighs in the butter and add chicken base.
  • pour broth over the chicken and bring to a boil and keep boiling until chicken is cooked through.
  • chop all vegetables.
  • remove chicken from the broth, and add veggies to the pot.
  • chop the chicken into chunks and remove bones and return to the broth.
  • simmer until the veggies are tender and season the broth to taste.
  • (i sometimes add another tablespoon of butter to the broth to make it more rich).
